Their tents are ingenious and bombproof. My original StratoSpire is still going strong, surviving 40mph winds, overnight snowstorms, and miles of jostling around my pack. Roomy enough for 2 adults (plus a dog in a pinch) yet packs down into the same size as my quilt.

Agreed! I used an Aeon Li briefly on the PCT and it was roomy, sturdy and a marvel of engineering. I sold it because I thought it was actually overkill and got a tarp, but I was very impressed with the product.
